Abby Lee Miller 'in recovery' after emergency surgery

The 51-year-old former "Dance Moms" star updated fans in an Instagram post Tuesday after undergoing another procedure for cancer.

"After another 2 hour MRI this morning, the pros thought I needed one more quick little emergency surgery! Ugh!" Miller captioned a photo from her hospital bed. "I'm in recovery now and texting so everything must be ok, just hiccups in my plans!"

"I'm on a tight schedule; shooting two projects and I need to get out of here and on with my life!!!" she said. "Please keep me in your prayers. I'm grateful for all the well wishes!"

Miller was preliminarily diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after having emergency spine surgery in April.

Her surgeon Dr. Hooman Melamed told People the star likely has Burkitt lymphoma.

"It was not an infection, it was a type of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma -- it's a type of cancer," Melamed said.

"We're getting an oncologist involved and we have to figure out what the next steps are as far as chemotherapy or radiation or more spine surgery," he added.
